Probably no big news for the most of you but I decided to share it anyway as the time of the big streaming platforms seem to be over soon. More and more the big file hoster close or restrict their services to avoid getting in trouble with the movie industrie.
If you want to save a copy of the video stream you normally watch on Putlocker.com (and it probably also works with Sockshare.com) follow these 4 steps to save the SWF file on your computer to watch it off line.
1. Open the start page of the movie you want to watch
Normally you reach this place via a searchable movie index page like kinox.to. The entry page there look something like this :
2. Copy the movie ID
On the movie page you switch over to the Page Source view. In Google Chrome and Firefox you can do that by pushing CTRL + U. Inside the page source you search the movie ID. On Putlocker you can easily find it by searching for get_file. The browser jumps to the right place. If you have found it copy the area as you can see it in the picture.
3. Get the movie XML file
In the browser you type www.putlocker.com and append the movie ID you copied in step 4. The URL in the browser and the page content you see afterwards look like this :
As the second last step inside the XML page content you select and copy the media content URL.
4. Download the file
By pasting the media content URL in the URL bar and hitting enter the file download is started.
